NOTES TO  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Information with respect to the three and six months ended 
June 30, 1995 and 1994 is unaudited

1.          Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

            Principles of Consolidation

            The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Tosco Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (Tosco), including Seminole Fertilizer Corporation
(Seminole), a discontinued operation whose principal operating
assets were sold in 1993.

    All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.

            Nature of Business

            Tosco is an independent oil refiner and marketer of
petroleum products with related distribution facilities and
domestic and international commercial activities.

            Reclassifications

            Certain previously reported amounts have been
reclassified to conform to classifications adopted in 1995.

   Cash, Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments and Deposits

            Tosco purchased director and officer liability
insurance coverage from its wholly owned subsidiary Loil Group
Ltd. (Loil), with limits of liability coverage of $14,100,000 at
June 30, 1995 (an amount approximately
equal to the amount of cash and investments of Loil).  The
assets of Loil are restricted to payment of defense costs and
claims made against the directors and officers of Tosco.  At
June 30, 1995, the portfolio's carrying value
of marketable investments, considered "available for sale" in
accordance with SFAS No. 115 - "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", approximated fair
value.

Margin Deposits

            Pursuant to the requirements of the commodity
exchanges, margin deposits based on a percentage of the value of
the futures contracts have been placed with commodity brokers. 
Margin deposits are classified as short-term deposits on the
balance sheet.

Inventories

            Inventories of raw materials and products are valued
at the lower of cost, determined on the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) basis, or market.  The net realizable value of LIFO
inventories is measured by aggregating similar pools on a
consolidated basis.

Turnarounds

            Refinery processing units are periodically shut down
for major maintenance (turnarounds).  Turnaround costs are
deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the
expected period of benefit (the period to the next scheduled
shutdown of the unit which generally ranges from 24 to 48
months).

2.          Accounts Receivable

            In June 1995, as part of its ongoing program to
reduce interest costs, Tosco entered into a three year
agreement with a financial institution to sell on a revolving
basis up to $100,000,000 of an undivided percentage ownership
interest in a designated pool of accounts
receivable (Receivable Transfer Agreement).  Under the
Receivable Transfer Agreement, Tosco retains substantially the
same risk of credit loss as if the receivables had not been
sold.  Tosco also retains collection and
administrative responsibilities on the participating
interest sold as agent for the financial institution.  At 
June 30, 1995 approximately $75,000,000 of receivables 
had been sold under the Receivable Transfer Agreement and the
sale is reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable. 
Proceeds were used to reduce indebtedness under Tosco's
revolving credit facilities. (Note 5).  The cost of the
Receivable Transfer Agreement is based on the
financial institution's cost of issuing a like amount of
commercial paper plus a margin. 

 3.         Inventories

(a)   During the first quarter of 1995, Tosco announced a restructuring program designed to reduce costs and improve operating
efficiencies in response to continuing poor refining margins.  The total estimated
cost of $5,200,000, of which $2,200,000 and $3,000,000 were recorded in the first and second quarters of 1995, respectively, 
was primarily for the then anticipated
severance cost of approximately 175 people at the Avon Refinery and related
support locations.

5.          Credit Facility and Long-Term Debt

            Tosco amended its collateralized credit facility
effective April 7, 1995 (Amended Revolving Credit Facilities). 
The amendment extended the maturity of the credit facility by
one year to April 1998 and reduced the cost of borrowing.  Cash
borrowing under the Amended Revolving
Credit Facilities now bears interest at the option of  Tosco at
one of three alternative rates (a federal funds rate, a
Eurodollar rate, or a base rate related to prime) plus an
incremental margin for each rate option.  The incremental margin
is dependent on the credit rating of the First Mortgage Bonds.

8.          Contingencies 

   Environmental exposures are difficult to assess and estimate
for numerous reasons including the complexity and differing
interpretations of governmental regulations, the lack of
reliable data, the number of potentially responsible parties and
their financial capabilities, the multiplicity of possible
solutions, the years of remedial and monitoring activity
required, and the identification of new sites.  Tosco continues
to  evaluate, on a quarterly basis, its liability for
environmental costs, net of liabilities transferred pursuant to
the settlement of outstanding
litigation concerning environmental issues with the predecessor
owners of the Avon Refinery.  While Tosco believes that its
environmental cost accrual is adequate, should these matters be
resolved unfavorably to Tosco, they could
have a material adverse effect on its long-term consolidated 
financial position and results of operations.

9.          Subsequent Events

            7%  Notes

   In early July 1995, Tosco filed a registration statement
for the issuance, from time to time, of up to $250,000,000 of
unsecured debt
securities on terms determined by market
conditions at the time of issuance.  On July 12, $125,000,000 of
debt securities were issued under the registration statement
as 7% unsecured, non-callable notes due
July 15, 2000 (7% Notes) at a discount totaling $189,000.  The
proceeds from the public offering, net of the discount and
costs, were used to repay indebtedness under the Amended Credit
Facilities.  Interest on the 7% Notes is payable each January 15
and July 15, beginning January 15, 1996.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of  Financial Condition and

(a)  Production for the second quarter of 1994 was negatively impacted by the scheduled turnaround of Avon's fluid coker.
     Avon's 1994 refining margin and raw materials processed were restated to include the production costs of  MTBE.

(b)  Bayway's production results for the second quarter of 1995 reflect the benefit of the expanded crude distillation capacity
completed in the third quarter of 1994.

     Refining margins include the results of hedges on a varying percentage of Bayway's production. 

(c)  As illustrated by the table, refining margins vary significantly by refinery.  This variance is due to a number of reasons
including marketing conditions in the principal areas
served by the refineries, their configuration and complexity (ability to convert raw materials into clean products), and maintenance
schedules.
</TABLE>

     Tosco earned $ 20.7 million, or $ .55 per fully diluted
share, on sales of $1.9 billion for the second quarter  of 1995,
compared to net income of $14.5 million, or $ .37 per fully
diluted share, on sales of  $1.4 billion for the second quarter
of 1994.  Results of operations for the second quarter of 1995
include an after-tax restructuring charge of $1.8 million ($.05
per share) which was reallocated from the first quarter of 1995.


  Tosco generated an operating contribution (income before the
restructuring charge, selling, general and administrative
expense, net interest expense, and income taxes) for the second
quarter of 1995 of  $74.5 million, an increase of  $29.4 million
from 1994.  The increase was primarily attributable to the lack
of major scheduled turnaround maintenance at the three
refineries,
slightly higher margins and expanded retail operations. 
Consolidated raw material
throughput for the second quarter of 1995 increased by 38,800
barrels per day (B/D) to 539,400 B/D and production of clean
transportation fuels, aided by expanded crude distillation
capacity at Bayway, increased by 33,800 B/D to 440,200 B/D over
the comparable 1994 period.  Refining margins for the second
quarter of 1995 on a consolidated basis
increased by $.04 per barrel from the second quarter of 1994 but
varied widely by refinery.  Bayway's refining margins, assisted
by strong gasoline sales at the start of the summer driving
season, increased by $ .17 per barrel while West Coast refinery
margins declined by $.27 per barrel and $.09 per barrel for Avon
and Ferndale, respectively.  Retail marketing fuel margins
continued to be
strong, averaging $.09 per gallon during the second quarter of
1995 compared to $.07 for the second quarter of 1994.  Retail
volumes sold also increased by 28,500 B/D to 69,000 B/D over the
second quarter of 1994 primarily because of the August and
December 1994 acquisitions of the retail marketing operations in
Northern California and Arizona from British Petroleum (BP) and
Exxon, respectively. 

     The increase in selling, general, and administrative
expense for the second quarter of 1995 is due to expanded retail
operations.  The increase
in net interest expense for 1995 is primarily due to higher
levels of and higher interest rates on floating rate revolving
credit debt.

</TABLE>

     Tosco earned $ 16.5 million, or $.44 per fully diluted
share, on sales of $3.6 billion for the first six months of
1995, compared to $53.3 million, or $1.42 per fully diluted
share, on sales of  $2.9 billion for the first six months of
1994.  Results
of operations for the first half of 1995 include an after-tax
restructuring charge of $3.1 million ($.08 per share).

     Tosco generated an operating contribution for the first
half of 1995 of $106.6 million, a decrease of $43.9 million from
1994.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the extensive
scheduled turnaround maintenance and extremely poor refining
margins in the first quarter of 1995.  The exceptionally weak
market conditions in the first quarter of 1995 resulted from the
combined impact of a
surplus of heating oil due to the mild winter on the East Coast
of the United States and poor gasoline markets due to the
industry's inability to recover the higher production costs of
reformulated
gasolines in highly competitive markets.  Retail marketing fuel
margins averaged $.09 per gallon for the first half of 1995
compared to $.08 for the comparable 1994 period.  Retail
volumes sold also increased by 27,000 B/D to 67,000 B/D due to
acquisitions of retail assets in Northern California and
Arizona.

     The increase in selling, general, and administrative
expense for the first six months of 1995 versus the comparable
period of 1994 was due to Tosco's expanded operations partially
offset by lower provisions for incentive compensation (due to
lower levels
of income) and potential losses on trade receivables.  In the
first quarter of 1994, Tosco recorded provisions of $5.3 million
for incentive
compensation and $2.9 million for potential losses on trade
receivables.  The increase in net interest expense for 1995 is
primarily due to higher levels of and higher interest rates on
floating rate revolving credit debt.

     Results of operations continue to be determined by two
factors:  the operating efficiency of the refineries and
refining and retail marketing margins.  The second quarter of
1995 had no major turnaround activity.  Significant turnaround
activity is not currently planned for the balance of 1995 and,
assuming
reasonable margins, Tosco presently expects to
operate the refineries at high production levels for the
remaining period of 1995.  Tosco is not able to predict the
level or trend of refining and retail margins because of
uncertainties associated with oil
markets.  To reduce Tosco's exposure to fluctuations in refining
margins, and reduce the volatility of operating results, Tosco
at June 30, 1995, has used futures contracts to lock in what it
considered to be acceptable refining margins on approximately
24% and 14% of Bayway's expected third quarter and remaining
1995 production, respectively.

     Recently passed legislation lifted the ban on the export of
Alaskan North Slope (ANS) crude oil, a primary source of raw
materials for West Coast refineries, which may lead to higher
costs for ANS and other domestic crude oils which may not be
recovered in higher sales prices.  The exchange agreement with
Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) under which ARCO delivers
50,000 B/D of ANS crude oil to the Avon Refinery in exchange for
a variable quantity of gasoline is scheduled to terminate on
December 31, 1996 unless extended at ARCO's option by
December 31, 1995.  Discussions with ARCO are in progress but
the renewal of the exchange agreement, and the effects
therefrom, are uncertain.

     In view of uncertain refining margins and the competitive
refining environment, Tosco implemented a restructuring
program to reduce operating costs and increase efficiencies. 
Its total estimated cost of approximately $5.2 million, recorded
in the first and second quarters of 1995, was primarily for
the then anticipated severance costs of approximately 175 people
at the Avon Refinery
and related support locations.  The costs of the restructuring
program are being paid in the second quarter of 1995 from
operating cash flow and will be offset by the anticipated annual
savings of approximately
$10 million.  Tosco expanded its restructuring program with
the late June announcement of the consolidation of operating and
administrative functions of its West Coast operations, including
the closing
of the Concord, California administrative office.  The expanded
restructuring program will be completed within one year. 
Additional cost savings, together
with a more efficient organizational structure, are expected.

     Tosco's expansion into retail marketing has been successful
in providing earnings in a period of poor refining margins and
Tosco continues to seek opportunities to acquire additional 
retail marketing assets that allow an attractive rate of return
and complement its existing refining and retail systems. 

Cash flows and liquidity

      As summarized in the Statement of  Cash Flows, cash
decreased by $11 million during the first six months of 1995 as
cash used in investing and financing activities of $151 million
and $45 million, respectively, exceeded cash provided by
operating activities of $185 million.

      Cash provided by operating activities of $185 million was
from cash earnings from operations of $68 million (net income
plus depreciation and amortization), a decrease
in working capital of $119 million, partially reduced by a
decease from other sources of $2 million.  The decrease in
working capital was primarily due to an increase in accounts
payable and the sale of accounts
receivable. See Note 2 to the June 30, 1995 Consolidated
Financial Statements.

      Net cash used in investing activities totaled $151
million, primarily for capital additions and deferred turnaround
expenditures of $93 million and $50 million, respectively,
and increases in short-term
investments and deposits of $8 million.  Cash used in financing
activities totaled $45
million, consisting of net repayments of cash borrowings under
its revolving credit facility of $32 million, dividends of $12
million and other payments of $1 million.

      Liquidity (as measured by cash, short-term investments and
deposits and unused credit facilities) increased by $30 million
during 1995 due to an increase of $8 million in short-term
investments and deposits and $33 million in unused credit
facilities, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of  $11 million.  At June 30, 1995, liquidity
totaled $243 million (an amount which Tosco
believes is adequate to meet its expected liquidity demands for
at least the next twelve months).

      To increase financial flexibility and reduce interest
costs, Tosco amended its working capital agreement in April
1995,
entered into a Receivable Transfer Agreement in June 1995, and
issued $125 million of  unsecured 7% notes in July 1995.  Tosco
has registered an additional $125 million of unsecured debt
securities which may be offered to the public on terms
determined by market conditions
at the time of sale.  See Notes 2, 5 and 9 to the June 30, 1995
Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Capital Expenditures and Capitalization

      During the first six months of  1995, Tosco spent $ 93
million on budgeted capital projects, primarily at the Avon
Refinery and retail outlets.  Capital spending programs continue
to address
reformulated fuel specifications, compliance with environmental
regulations and permits, operating flexibility and reliability,
personnel/process safety, and retail expansion and
modernization. 
In May 1995, Tosco announced a three-year $200 million program
to expand
retail marketing operations on the West Coast of the United
States.  The expansion program will be used to develop new
retail
sites in existing markets, enhance existing  retail facilities
and enter new markets through new construction, purchases and
leases of existing stations or systems and new jobber business. 
Tosco expects to fund its capital expenditures from cash
provided by operations, available credit and other resources.

      At June 30, 1995, total shareholders' equity was $579
million, an increase from December 31, 1994 of $3 million due
to net income of $16 million less dividend and other payments
of $13 million.  Debt, including current maturities and
short-term bank borrowings, decreased by $73 million to $656
million at June 30, 1995.
